Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the field of laboratory tests, and in particular to a test bench for studying a gas barrier mechanism of a windless tunneling system. Background Art

[0002] Coal accounts for a large proportion in my country's energy consumption structure. During the coal mine production process, there are many disasters and accidents, among which gas disasters account for a large proportion. Accidents such as gas exceeding the limit and gas explosion often occur during the excavation process.

[0003] The current prevention and control theories and technologies have not completely eradicated gas explosion accidents, and gas over-limit and explosion phenomena occur from time to time. Based on the new idea of ​​coal and gas co-mining, a windless tunneling system has been created. Windless tunneling refers to a new operating method that allows normal ventilation in the concentrated track tunnel and no ventilation in the tunneling tunnel. This new operating method will completely eliminate the necessary conditions for the occurrence of oxygen-demanding disasters in the tunneling tunnel, which can not only prevent the occurrence of disasters such as gas combustion and explosion in the tunneling tunnel, but also keep the gas at a higher concentration without being diluted by wind flow, thus realizing the rational use of clean resources.

[0004] The key to achieving windless tunneling is to effectively block gas and oxygen to prevent the coexistence of gas and oxygen. To this end, a test bench was built to study the gas blocking mechanism of windless tunneling systems. Summary of the invention

[0005] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a test bench for studying the gas barrier mechanism of a windless tunneling system, which can realize the study of gas migration laws and barrier mechanisms under the influence of multiple factors.

[0006] The technical solution of the present invention is as follows:

[0007] A test bench for studying the gas barrier mechanism of a windless tunneling system comprises a rectangular shell surrounded by six walls, namely, upper, lower, left, right, front and rear. A first gas inlet is arranged on the front wall of the shell, and a second gas inlet and a third gas inlet are arranged on the left and right walls respectively. The three gas inlets are connected to a gas source through connecting pipes respectively, and a flow control device is installed on the connecting pipes. A filter bag, a first air door, a second air door, a nitrogen curtain and a third air door are arranged in sequence in the inner cavity of the shell. The three air doors are all provided with openings, thereby forming five gas concentration decreasing areas, which are arranged in sequence. It consists of gas source area I, high-concentration gas extraction area II, buffer area III, nitrogen curtain barrier areas IV and V and effect detection area VI; it also includes an extraction pipe, one port of which is in high-concentration gas extraction area II, and the other port is connected to the variable frequency fan, and gas extraction is carried out through the principle of gas curtain jet suction; high-concentration gas extraction area II, buffer area III, nitrogen curtain barrier areas IV and V and effect detection area VI are respectively provided with gas sensors, and each gas sensor is connected to the data processing equipment to collect data; the test bench can study the gas barrier mechanism through the linkage adjustment of the three: air door hard blocking-extraction dynamic pressure regulation-nitrogen curtain soft blocking.

[0008] The left and right side walls are used to simulate the two side walls of the tunneling tunnel, and are composed of high-density foam boards and transparent organic glass located in the middle of the side walls; the upper and lower walls are used to simulate the top and bottom plates of the tunneling tunnel, respectively, and are composed of high-density foam boards; the front gas outflow wall and the rear boundary wall are composed of high-density foam boards; the filter bag adopts a fiber filter bag (common applications of fiber filter bags include dust removal bags on bag dust collectors, etc.), which plays a role in converting gas from point source to surface source; the air door can adopt organic Glass plate or paper hard board, etc. The opening on the damper is used to simulate the tape mouth (in coal mining, the conveyor belt carrying coal passes through the tape mouth); the above-mentioned nitrogen curtain structure includes a three-way steel pipe fixed on the upper wall of the inner cavity of the shell, the upper port of the three-way steel pipe is connected to the nitrogen cylinder through a hose to introduce nitrogen, the left and right ports are closed, and a long gap is opened in the axial direction at the bottom of the three-way steel pipe to ensure that nitrogen is sprayed out from the gap to form a nitrogen curtain perpendicular to the bottom plate surface, thereby blocking the gas in the area before the nitrogen curtain. A pressure reducing valve can be installed at the nitrogen outlet of the nitrogen cylinder to display the outlet pressure and the internal pressure of the cylinder.

[0009] The flow control device on the gas source connecting pipeline includes a valve and a glass rotor flowmeter to control the gas outflow; an anemometer is set at the outlet of the variable frequency fan to measure the outlet wind speed, and the variable frequency fan selects a variable frequency explosion-proof fan to control the extraction speed.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0015] The present invention is described in detail below in conjunction with specific embodiments.

[0016] Example 1

[0017] As attached Figure 1 The test bench used to study the gas barrier mechanism of the windless tunneling system in this embodiment is shown. The overall design of the test bench is a rectangular parallelepiped with a size of 4m×1m×0.8m. The test bench is constructed as follows:

[0018] 1. Laying the tunnel floor: Place the high-density foam board floor in a pre-set position to simulate the tunnel floor and apply foam glue.

[0019] 2. Install the head-on wall: Apply foam glue to the lower end of the head-on wall to make it bond with the bottom foam board, glue it with epoxy resin glue, and use an air hammer to knock evenly to make it firmly bonded, and open the first gas inlet 4 at the center of the lower half of the foam board on this wall.

[0020] 3. Install the side foam board, connect it to the front wall where the gas is coming out, and arrange the gas inlet on the side. After bonding, grooves are opened on the two walls to embed the transparent organic glass.

[0021] 4. A fiber filter bag 8 with a thickness of 0.005 m is installed in the entire section at 0.1 m away from the wall where the gas flows out. After the fiber filter bag is folded and sealed, it is fixed to the top and bottom plates and the two side walls to convert the gas from a point source to a surface source.

[0022] 5. A first air gate 5 is set at 0.62m away from the gas outflow wall (ABCD surface), a second air gate 5 is set at 1.82m away from the gas outflow wall, a nitrogen curtain 7 is installed at 2.82m away from the gas outflow wall, and a third air gate 5 is set at 3.82m away from the gas outflow wall. Openings 12 are set on the three air gates. The test bench is divided into five areas. The first area is the gas source area I, the second area is the high-concentration gas extraction area II, the third area is the buffer area III, the fourth area is the nitrogen curtain barrier area IV and V, and the fifth area is the effect detection area VI. Glass silicone is sprayed on the outside of all joints until a completely closed, leak-free rectangular test bench of 4m×1m×0.8m is built.

[0023] 6. Fill three gas bags with the same volume of gas, each with a capacity of 50L, as gas source 1, and place them at the gas source inlet. Add a flat plate above the three gas bags filled with gas, add a uniform load above the flat plate, open valve 2, and set the gas outflow speed at the outlet through the speed regulator of the rotating glass rotor flowmeter 3. The initial flowmeter speed of the three outflow outlets is set to be consistent, and this speed is maintained unchanged in a single experiment. After the gas is decelerated and averaged, it enters the high concentration area to achieve the conversion from point source to surface source.

[0024] 7. Install the gas concentration data acquisition system: take A as the origin, and establish a coordinate system with AB, AV and AD sides as the X, Y and Z axes respectively. Install gas sensors 1 to 5 6 at the positions of x=0.5m, z=0.6m, y=0.4m, 1.2m, 2.3m, 3.5m and 3.9m. Each gas sensor is vertically suspended and fixed on an external fixing frame by two iron wires with a diameter of 0.005m to conduct real-time dynamic monitoring of the gas in the test bench. Gas sensor No. 1 displays the gas concentration changing with time in the high concentration area; gas sensor No. 2 detects the gas concentration leaking from the tape port to the buffer zone after being blocked and restricted by the first air door; gas sensor No. 3 measures the gas concentration 0.5m in front of the nitrogen curtain; sensor No. 4 tests the gas concentration 0.5m behind the nitrogen curtain; sensor No. 5 monitors the gas concentration in the effect detection area without the influence of air curtain jet entrainment. The sensing module of gas sensor 6 is 0.05m away from the top plate and 0.1m away from the wall. The location and method of arranging gas sensors in each area are the same. The data of the gas sensor is transmitted to the computer through the signal line and USB-485 converter, and the data is collected and saved by x-smart software for later data processing. Considering safety factors, the lower limit sensing concentration of the sensor should be set to 0% and the upper limit sensing concentration should be set to 1% to avoid the gas concentration in the test bench reaching the explosion range of 5%~16% during the experiment.

[0025] 8. Install gas extraction pipe 9: Hang an extraction pipe with a diameter of 0.08m and a length of 4.5m at a position 0.1m away from the wall and 0.1m away from the top wall in the test bench. The extraction pipe mouth is 0.5m away from the ABCD surface. The gas in the extraction pipe flows in the direction of the airflow shown in the test principle diagram. Before starting the test, the experimenter needs to enter the test bench to start the variable frequency explosion-proof fan 10 and use the anemometer 11 to measure the speed of the pipe mouth. At the same time, the gas concentration at the outlet of the extraction pipe is tested every 10 minutes to prevent gas leakage.

[0026] 9. A nitrogen curtain 7 with a width of 0.005m is set at a distance of 2.82m from the ABCD surface. The nitrogen curtain structure includes a three-way steel pipe fixed on the upper wall of the inner cavity of the shell. The upper port of the three-way steel pipe is connected to the nitrogen cylinder through a hose to introduce nitrogen. The left and right ports are closed. A long slit is opened along the axial direction at the bottom of the three-way steel pipe to ensure that nitrogen is sprayed out from the slit to form a nitrogen curtain perpendicular to the bottom plate surface, thereby blocking the gas in the area before the nitrogen curtain. A pressure reducing valve can be installed at the nitrogen outlet of the nitrogen cylinder to display the outlet pressure and the internal pressure of the cylinder.

[0027] 10. Conduct multiple tests by changing variables such as outflow volume, extraction volume, and nitrogen curtain outlet velocity.

[0028] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of the present invention rather than to limit it. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that the technical solution of the present invention can be modified or replaced by equivalents without departing from the purpose and scope of the technical solution of the present invention, which should be included in the scope of the claims of the present invention.
